11 The Passover lambs were slaughtered, and the priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them, while the Levites skinned the animals. 12 They set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the subdivisions of the families of the people to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle. 13 They roasted the Passover animals over the fire as prescribed, and boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons and pans and served them quickly to all the people.
First of all.....can you imagine the horrific scene? Slaughtering all those animals in one place, and then splashing their blood on an altar. WOW! I always picture this scene aligned with some pagan religion....but nope. Good, honest, God following people, doing what he asked.
Second thought. If you read that paragraph carefully..........I'm thinking bbq. It's like a tail-gate honoring God. I remember reading in other chapters about God being pleased with the smell of the animal sacrifice.....again.....I'm thinking bbq.
just sayin'
tp
I didn't have a specific verse to pull out but I was looking for words and you hit on it with tail gate. Everywhere you walk there would be people celebrating and eating bbq. This celebration was like no other, the numbers they listed off show this event was huge. did they mix in some games of bags as well?
